Private

Childbirth Classes in Columbus, Ohio

Preparing for birth feels easier when you have personal guidance in the comfort of your home. My private childbirth classes in Columbus, Ohio, give you clear instruction, practical support, and space to ask every question. With more than a decade of experience, I help families understand birth in a way that feels calm and doable.

Why Choose Private Childbirth Classes

Private childbirth education gives you focused time, personalized teaching, and the chance to learn at your own pace. These classes move far beyond standard hospital offerings. You receive evidence-informed guidance that fits your goals, your preferences, and the kind of birth you hope to have. This is ideal for first-time parents, families planning an unmedicated birth, or anyone who wants meaningful preparation without overwhelm.

If you prefer learning on your own schedule, you can also explore my online self-paced childbirth course, which covers the full spectrum of birth education and supports you at every stage.

What You Will Learn

Private childbirth classes cover
• How labor works and what your body is doing
• Effective comfort measures and labor positions
• Breathing and vocalization techniques
• Medical interventions and how to make informed choices
• Partner support and communication
• Planning for a home birth or hospital birth in Columbus

You walk away with clarity and practical tools that help you stay grounded throughout labor.

How These Classes Work

Sessions take place in your home anywhere in Columbus and nearby communities. Classes last about two hours and can be scheduled as a single session or a multi session series. Each visit includes time for questions and hands on practice so you feel confident once labor begins. Virtual options are available if needed.

"We weren’t sure we’d get the depth and unbiased take on childbirth we were looking for solely from the class offered by our hospital, so we relied on Kelli for evidence-based education and loved her non-judgmental approach to the material. After working with Kelli, my husband and I both felt much more prepared for our baby’s delivery." - Hannah B.
